The arch was built in giant triangular pieces. As the pieces became higher the legs started to form. At the very top, they VERY carefully slipped in the last piece and that completed the arch. Well then they had to add the elevators and museums down below, but before they added the elevators they had steps going up and it took 45 minutes to get to the top.
